Re: The Etterna Project

So you're hoping that this version of stepmania is gonna be the one thing 4k and 6k players will recognize as THE Stepmania to play instead of vanilla version which changed so many things that they fucked themselves and slowed development to a crawl? Sounds like sm-ssc.

Rhythm Horizon sounds questionable but that's for another thread.

tbh i dont know the difference between sm-ssc and sm5, and i cant speak for 6k players, but no serious 4k player plays on vanilla sm5 anymore already; there's no element of hope involved

it's either etterna or 3.95

Re: The Etterna Project

no it is not and it will never be

what mwes was hinting at is that the vanilla devs are so hopeless that this fork might as well be the official build (for 4k kb)

pad has itg and rhythm horizon so all the vanilla repo is good for now is a laugh

Re: The Etterna Project

also for those wondering there are a huge amount of changes/additions upcoming which include a total rework of the profile save and replay system to facilitate an online stats tracker/leaderboard upload

its gonna be a while to get all the bugs out tho

Oh, so this is part of the upcoming Stepmania 5.2? My bad. The OP was so long that I didn't bother reading all of it and skimmed parts of it.

Re: The Etterna Project

I wonder if this will ever be incorporated into future main Stepmania builds or will this be its own thing as a fork of the free software engine like the old sm-ssc.

What are you saying? This is the main build.

Re: The Etterna Project

Hey I'd just like to give a shoutout to the guys working on developing this project because you all are fucking amazing. Being able to filter for a specific difficulty range for specific pattern types and having a working search function on top of that is like all I could ever ask for. Wife is great, the
timing graph in the results screen is quality and the ingame calculator is, while impossible to perfect, brilliant in its own regard.

Thanks for making the last few [Current Year]s awesome.

@blindreper1179
I think Till Death the only(or one of the only) themes with some degree of support for online and almost all the same functions it has offline online. And a bunch of stuff that was made possible by editing the source(Like chat scrolling, hiding the chatbox(Thanks to this it can use the same tab system as the offline screen) and displaying a theme controlled user list).

Ok, I guess.

Just connect to stepmaniaonline.net the normal way (there's guides all over if you need one).

Re: The Etterna Project

So if I had screenshotted fast enough to not miss any notes, it would've been fine?

Second question: Is the lag caused by this basically because of sm5, or because of having not the best pc? Like can I compensate for it with overpowered hardware

Yes, if you screenshot without missing any notes there should not be an issue. The lag associated with taking screenshots comes from the fact that compressing the image is done in the game loop, rather than another thread. Depending on whether or not you take a PNG or JPG screenshot, it will take around 30-200+ milliseconds causing that very obvious lag spike. High end hardware like mine can reduce this, but because CPU power has stagnated over the past 10 years it doesn't make that much of a difference. Ex. Takes half the time to take the screen shot.
